Notes

2012-08-13 - Identified through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- As reported in "The Diapason," Vol. 103, No. 8, "in 1976, the Greenwood Company of Charlotte, North Carolina, rebuilt the instrument. Their work included silencing the many speaking stops in the facade, replacement of the (presumably) tubular-pneumatic console with an all-electric console (prepared for additions), replacement of the tubular chests with electro-pneumatic chests, and an electro-mechanical relay." -Database Manager
